Advertise on podcast: My Friend Luis

Thirty-five years later, on a Good Friday night, Raphael appears to Luis with comfort and wisdom to bring healing to the guilt and anguish Luis suffered from his father’s death.

Due to a mix-up and Luis’ inability to talk, instead of comforting him after his terrible ordeal, his family turns on him calling him a coward and blaming him for his father’s death.

When his dad suffers a heart attack in the mountains with darkness closing in and a pack of coyotes on the prowl, Luis must find a way to save his dad.

Luis discovers his own inner Captain Herrera as he finds himself surrounded by some young gangbangers who want his help learning to box, and find a friendship with Luis that opens new doors for them.

A vivid dream and his daughter’s quinceañera, combine to offer Luis a fork in the road that leads him to rediscover the love he met at the border in 1994.

Luis is forced to choose between his integrity and being abused and exploited by his biggest client and that leads to a discussion about immigration in the United States.

The day begins with a tragic suicide and ends at two in the morning with a unique conversation.

After discovering that the green card he procured through an attorney for $23,000 is a forgery, Luis and his young family are forced back into the shadows.

In 2008, Wayne and Luis meet for the first time and a relationship begins that will change the trajectory of both of their lives.

My Friend Luis returns to that twenty-one-year-old soaked in sewage beneath the wall hearing a voice call to him from beyond it, “Come to Me.”

At fifteen, Luis is on his own after his dad dies and his mom moves to the U.S. He is taken hostage by the cartel and needs the help of an old friend.

A military captain who trains boys to box as a way to instill character in them and keep them out of the cartels takes Luis under his wing.
